<p>[QUOTE="kazuma78, post: 8350386, member: 17304"]I picked up this quadrigatus today and look forward to seeing it in person! It's not perfectly centered but I liked that it has nice original skin and probably an old pedigree lurking out there somewhere for it. I'll post better pictures when I get it in hand.
